Application and challenges of silicone rubber in extreme environments

Hits: 672 img

Silicone rubber has become an ideal material for extreme environmental applications due to its excellent heat and cold resistance. It has a wide range of applications, ranging from seals and gaskets in high-temperature industrial environments to protective coatings in low-temperature environments.
However, using silicone rubber in extreme environments also faces some challenges. For example, long-term exposure to high temperature environments can lead to material degradation and embrittlement. Similarly, extremely low temperatures can also affect the flexibility and elasticity of silicone rubber.

To address these challenges, researchers are exploring new silicone rubber formulations and composite materials that can maintain their performance under extreme conditions. The progress in additive technology, such as the addition of nanofillers and ceramic particles, has shown positive results in improving the thermal stability and durability of silicone rubber.

Despite facing challenges, silicone rubber remains an important material for applications in extreme environments due to its inherent advantages and the potential for further improvement through research and development.
